Funding for Gifted Education Projects
Today, I came across an exciting organization that I wanted to let you know about.
DonorsChoose offers a way for teachers to get exciting projects funded that they could not otherwise afford.
The group funds all kinds of projects, including those that support gifted child education. DonorsChoose is a simple way to provide students in need with resources that public schools often lack.
At this not-for-profit Web site, teachers submit project proposals for materials or experiences their students need to learn. These projects become reality when concerned individuals choose projects to fund. Thus far, the group has raised more than 6 million dollars for projects proposed by teachers.
If you are a public school teacher, DonorsChoose invites you to submit a project proposal for materials or experiences that would help your students learn.
Eligibility: DonorsChoose currently serves all public schools in Alabama, Chicago, Los Angeles, Louisiana, Mississippi, New York City, North Carolina, the San Francisco Bay Area (Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma counties), South Carolina, and Texas.
